The offender is described as a white male aged around 30. He was 5’7” to 5’8” tall, stocky build with short dark hair. He wore a dark jumper with jeans. He was not wearing a jacket.

The investigation is ongoing and police are continuing forensic examinations and have conducted extensive house to house enquiries.

They continue to appeal to anyone who saw anything to get in touch – even if it seems like a ‘minor detail’.
